I've noticed in some msdn examples that they have an object type as string..
but looks something like
hoststring as [String]...
what do the [ ] mean in vb.net |

The [] is an escape sequence that is used when there is a VB.NET keyword
that is overriding a framework or class keyword (name, method, etc.). In
this case, [String] is directly referencing the framework class
System.String instead of the VB String class.
